(Written by Andrea Davenport & Rhayniel Saldasal Calimpong / Assistant Station Manager of ONC & Freelance News Writer, Food Columnist, Online Media Reporter and News Presenter of OneNETnews)

DUMAGUETE, NEGROS ORIENTAL -- After 2 or 3 months of renovations, the grand re-opening was originally scheduled for October has been quietly shifted to late-November 2024. 'Jollibee', the popular fast food restaurant chain in the Philippines has completed its renovations at North Road, National Highway, Brgy. Daro, Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental.

Thanks to the local government units (LGUs) and construction teams, everything is all set, and the community is looking forward to the re-opening on Wednesday morning, starting at 6am (Dumaguete local time) for the Breakfast menu. Exciting deals and promotions are on their way for the grand re-opening of 'Jollibee' in this city! Dumaguete City Mayor named 'Mr. Felipe Antonio Buscato Remollo' is set to end his final local term by next year in 2025, had yet to grace the first or second hour of the renovated fast-food branch but didn't muster the courage the following day at the time of our writing.

It was yesterday morning on Tuesday (November 26th at 11am), a very special milestone with an official blessing and ribbon-cutting ceremony. The newly renovated Jollibee fast food restaurant chain is absolutely stunning, almost like a cozy apartment! From ordering deliveries, dine-ins, pick-ups and take-outs; as well with delivery partners between Foodpanda and Grab, the Negrosanon residents and local visitors, in and outside of Dumaguete can now enjoy your favorite Jollibee meals, in the company of family and friends with a refreshed and modern dining atmosphere with a new touch screen order kiosks.

Earlier this morning, in an exclusive interview to OneNETnews, we spoke with the first unnamed female customer in Cebuano dialect about her excitement with the newly-renovated 'Jollibee North Road' and recommended the fast-food chain to others: "Nindot ang lugar, ganahan ko pud mo-Jollibee nang nianhe na po tanan para mag-mamahaw ta. Nahibal-an nimo nga ang Jollibee, usa ka kompanya sa fast-food busa, nasayod ang tanan nga lami ang Jollibee North Road", local female customer said at the 6am hour.

The event celebrated the 46th anniversary of the fast food restaurant, which opened its doors in our beautiful 'City of Gentle People' on Tuesday (September 16th, 2003). Before this. 'Mr. Tony Tan Caktiong', a Filipino-Chinese businessman, and his family opened the Magnolia Ice Cream parlor in Cubao, Quezon City, during the mid-70s. By the early 80s, Jollibee had expanded to 7 local branches in Metro Manila. Jollibee's very first franchised outlet was located on Ronquillo Street in 'Santa Cruz, Metro Manila, National Capital Region'. To date, as of February this year, it reaches its more than 1,151 branches spread across the Philippines, not including temporarily closures or international expansion areas like the ones in the New York state of the United States of America (U.S.A.).

Before 11 am, 'Eunice', who is a local cashier of the restaurant chain, saying that the renovation was done from August 9th until present today, to upgrade the new touch screen kiosk system for a better customer experience. While 'Annie', the manager at Jollibee North Road, highlighted the significance of the grand re-opening in serving the people of Dumaguete: "Marami kaming pinaglilingkuran sa ating branch area ng restaurant, parang halimbawa sa estudyante natin ng Negros Oriental State University, Silliman University, o kahit anong tirahan na eskwelahan o unibersidad sa Dumaguete. Kaya ayon, makatulong tayo to serve the people para sa Dumagueteños", Annie said.

Annie mentioned on our news team that the menu remains the same, but technology upgrades have been implemented to enhance service: "Wala naman po ma-change ang menu, mula sa nakaraan na store hanggang ngayon… Pareho po ang menu na pwede ino-offer natin for the newly re-opened store sa Dumaguete. Nakaroon po sir ang technology upgrade sir. Ngayon, nagpupunta sila dito para mabibili ng aming produkto sa Jollibee, pagtankilik sa ating serbisyo. Very thankful to sa lahat ng sumusuporta namin", she concluded. Annie also encouraged the Negrosanon communities to visit the newly re-opened Jollibee North Road, and expressed her gratitude to the loyal customers for their support. This considers to start new beginnings, delicious memories and a bright future ahead.

Many locals, in and out of residence in Dumaguete City, had a great time enjoying familiar favorites at the beloved fast-food chain. As Jollibee continues to expand and innovate, the grand re-opening in Dumaguete City serves as a testament to their commitment to serving communities and creating delightful dining experiences that truly embody their heartwarming new slogan "Share The Joy".

More than 240 stranded NegOr residents return home

#PHnews: More than 240 stranded NegOr residents return home

DUMAGUETE CITY – More than 240 residents of Negros Oriental arrived on board two sweeper flights that landed at the Sibulan-Dumaguete airport Tuesday morning.

The passengers were a mix of locally stranded individuals (LSIs) and overseas Filipino workers (OFWs).

The first flight arrived at 11:20 a.m. with 85 passengers, of whom 39 are OFWs and the rest LSIs. The second flight carried 156 passengers that arrived at past noon, carrying mostly OFWs.

Hospital Command System ground commander, Dr. Liland Estacion, a team of doctors and nurses, and city and provincial tourism officers, received the returnees.

Estacion said the OFWs from the different municipalities will have to stay put at the airport arrival area until they are fetched by their respective LGUs.

In the absence of a master list for all OFWs that arrived, the task force had given Philippine Airlines (PAL) locator forms for the passengers to fill out.

The LSIs and the OFWs thanked President Rodrigo Duterte and the national Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) for allowing them to go back home.

Meanwhile, the Australian and American embassies had organized two sweeper flights to fetch their respective nationals in the Visayas back to their respective countries.

City Tourism Officer Jacqueline Antonio said the same aircraft that brought the more than 240 OFWs and LSIs here will transport the foreign nationals on the return flights to Manila.

One of the planes had a side trip to Tagbilaran, Bohol to fetch more or less 50 Australian and American nationals before flying to Manila.

Antonio said she was tasked by Dumaguete City Mayor Felipe Remollo to facilitate the trips of the foreign nationals, including their travel documents.

Veloso said these passengers were on vacation in Dumaguete and Negros Oriental for longer periods, some of them businessmen and permanent retirees but would want to visit their respective countries.

Meanwhile, the city tourism officer confirmed that around 600 Dumagueteños who were stranded in different parts of the country have registered online to go back to the city.

She said their office is in the process of making arrangements and coordination with LGUs where they are stranded for them to return home by batches, on a first-come, first-served basis provided they agree with the mandatory 14-day quarantine period in designated isolation facilities.

Under the new guidelines, the only requirement is for the LSI to present only a medical certificate from the LGU where he or she is stranded and a travel authority without necessarily undergoing a swab test.

Upon arrival, however, the LSI will have to be swabbed or undergo a rapid diagnostic test (RDT).

Another provision that was removed from among the requirements is the certificate of acceptance from the local government units concerned.

Antonio further said LSIs who prefer to stay in private hotels will have to spend for their food and accommodation at a government-designated hotel where discounts are offered.

However, for LSIs who want to stay in the isolation facility of the city, food is provided for free, she said. (PNA)

BALITANG LOKAL: Dumagueteño Mayor 'Ipe Remollo' to end final term, awaiting new leadership candidates at the PH Mid-term Elections 2025 [#OneNETnewsEXCLUSIVE]

(Written by Rhayniel Saldasal Calimpong / Freelance News Writer, Online Media Reporter and News Presenter of OneNETnews)

DUMAGUETE, NEGROS ORIENTAL -- As the Philippine mid-term elections draw near this 2025, Dumaguete City Mayor named Mr. Felipe Antonio 'Ipe' Buscato Remollo will end his last term in office coming next year. Marked by his leadership, he had also sat at the helm from 1998 to 2001, and this time from 2016 until now in the present day. Serving the people of Dumaguete has three (3) terms lined up, he will retire at the end of a momentous cycle for the Dumagueteños.

This was the current term as a Mayor himself, where Dumaguete City has under its experience massive large-scale infrastructures towards better living condition in the city, which promotes fast economic growth. Specifically, better results were through bridges and road networks as vital infrastructures. In envisioning the administration, it could be seen by the phrase "Lupad Dumaguete", or creating a living community that is cultured for urban renewal and professional governance.

Soon to assume, the local City Councilor position 'Manny Arbuyes Arbon' looks back at an unforgettable legacy of Ipe Remollo, during an exclusive ambush interview last Monday night (November 4th, 2024 -- Dumaguete local time) at the Persons with Disability (PWD) gathering in 'Brgy. Bajumpandan': "I am really looking forward for his success, moving up in his congressional level", Arbon remarked.

Rumors in the breeze whether 'Ipe Remollo' wants his son to succeed him at the end of his term. Below are updates about Atty. Felipe Claudio 'Dio' Remollo, former Chief Political Affairs Officer for House Speaker 'Martin Gomez Romualdez, who had himself specialized and mentored barangay officials on their capacities to stand up for women and the marginalized groups.

His potential candidacy is viewed by many as a continuation of his father's legacy and a hopeful future for Dumaguete City. If Dio is successfully elected in next year's mid-term elections, OneNETnews can exclusively reveal the scoop on us that the "Lupad Dumaguete" slogan may soon evolve into "Lupad Probinsya", which is being considered as the working slogan for next year.

Our new leadership with an improvement-carrying continuation will be life-changing journeys for the residents of Dumaguete within the elections tally, especially since this timing is extremely crucial in the future. Around a month ago in October, the Commission of Elections (COMELEC) already announced its time frame for next year's elections, with the filing of certificates of candidacy (COCs) to be finalized who were battling against our local politicians such as Teves and the like.

Buglas Sidlakan Negros Oriental It's been a blessing to discover the east side of this island. The last time I was here was 19 years old, when my mom brought us on travel adventures, swimming and discovering Apo Island with our cousins. Now with my beloved, we take time to understand where we're at, exploring the Motherland with reverence together. Coming to this side of the island during a pandemic meant following strict protocols and preparing travel requirements to cross checkpoints across borders. It meant expecting that most places were closed and recovering. Like the Dumagueteños and mga Negrosanon we met, we've slowed down a lot, but the spirit of resilience keeps us all going. Grateful to see Mount Talinis from this view, and spend some time healing with the sea. الحمد لله Shot by @delosphoto Dauin, Negros Oriental, Visayas, Philippines June 2021 . . . #Philippines #Visayas #NegrosOriental #Dauin #dronephotography #delosphoto #lovejamiebx #SurvivalArts (at Negros Oriental, Philippines) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQSxL2_g0nQ/?utm_medium=tumblr
